A Cowboy in the Kitchen by Grady Spears

A Cowboy in the Kitchen by Grady Spears

A haute take on one of America's most traditional cuisines--that of the Texas ranch.

Don't be thinking this book is just full of ribs, beans, and biscuits . . . . unless, of course, you're thinkin' South Texas Venison Ribs with Peanut Dipping Sauce, Black Bean Nachos with Chargrilled Chicken, and West Texas Biscuit Pudding with Southern Comfort en Glace. You see, at the Reata Restaurant in West Texas, hot chef Grady Spears is cooking cowboy cuisine with an emphasis on the cuisine. Filled with fresh, strong flavors, fascinating ranch memorabilia (these Texans take their history seriously ), gorgeous full-color food photography, and truly marvelous, utterly real food, this is American cooking at its kick-off-your-boots-and-get-down-to-business greatest.

May, A Hat For Ivan with Max Lucado, and several books in the Little Bear series which were art directed by Maurice Sendak.
